Magic Seven

0.363636
4/11(+89%)
(1) Magic Seven 4/11, Displayed useful form when making second of 3 starts a winning one in bumper here last term and sound start over hurdles, landing a C&D maiden in clear-cut style 23 days ago despite some awkward jumping early. Sure-fire improver with that under his belt.
Won comfortably over C&D on recent hurdling debut and commands respect.

Face D'Music

6/1(+57%)
(6) Face D'Music 6/1, £100,000 purchase having been placed only start in Irish points and encouragement to glean from his second place finish behind Magic Seven in a C&D maiden 23 days ago. Entitled to do better, including when granted more of a test.
Second over C&D on recent rules debut but could not lay a glove on Magic Seven.

(5) Two To Tango 11/1, Half-brother to 3 winners and he displayed fair form in pair of bumpers during second half of last season, notably travelling well before outpaced final 1f when fifth in 9-runner contest at Chepstow (2m) in April. One to note in the betting now sent hurdling.
Placed in a bumper last season but has quite a bit to find on today's hurdling debut.

Prolific Profile

100/1(-100%)
(7) Prolific Profile 100/1, Bought for £50,000 after finishing third on the second of 2 starts in Irish points and some promise when fifth on hurdles debut in a Ffos Las maiden (21.9f) in October. Not in same form at Warwick earlier this month though, and handicaps likely to be more his bag.
Ran okay on last month's rules debut but faces a tall order here.

Mac's Legacy

40
40/1(-60%)
(4) Mac's Legacy 40/1, Brother to a bumper winner and signs of ability when fourth of 9 on debut in that sphere here in April. However, failed to build on that at Ayr later that month and well beaten on return/hurdles bow at Chepstow (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on.
Showed some promise in bumpers in the spring but others have much stronger claims.
8
7th (8) Saxons Lane (4/1 +50%)
Saxons Lane

4
4/1(+50%)
(8) Saxons Lane 4/1, Malinas gelding who hinted at promise when seventh of 17 in bumper at Kempton (2m) back in March and shaped like a stayer when runner-up in a C&D maiden on hurdles bow 23 days ago. In good hands and he's the type to progress.
Battled on for never-dangerous second over C&D on hurdle debut; more needed today.

Second in two Irish points but a well-beaten outsider on both hurdling starts.
LTO Selection:

12:20 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

REVEREND HUBERT has not been disgraced on either start since winning at Downpatrick in August and the Irish raider merits the utmost respect as a result. Magic Seven created a big impression when scoring on his hurdling debut recently and the son of Doyen is an obvious threat to the selection. Face D'music edges out Saxons Lane to be best of the rest.

A useful winner in bumpers, MAGIC SEVEN overcame some awkward early jumping to ultimately run out a convincing winner of a C&D maiden hurdle 23 days ago and, sure to improve with that under his belt, he earns the vote to follow up under a penalty. Irish raider Reverend Hubert should give him plenty to think about however, with Face d'Music and Saxons Lane others fancied to be thereabouts.

Magic Seven impressed in a C&D maiden but Irish 5yo REVEREND HUBERT is established as a useful hurdler and should be hard to beat.

Wyenot

1.375
11/8(-15%)
(1) Wyenot 11/8, Closely related to useful chaser Everlastingpromise. Shaped well when third in bumper at Southwell on NH debut and created a good impression first time up over hurdles when winning at Ludlow on return despite still looking far from the finished article. Penalised but more to come.
Form of hurdle debut win has been franked and she should go well, despite penalty.

Soundly beaten on rules debut at Hexham this month and makes no appeal.

Fortune Forever

5/1(+0%)
(7) Fortune Forever 5/1, Showed ability in bumpers last season and found just one too good on return/hurdles debut at Warwick (2m, good). Perhaps the testing conditions counted against her over the same C&D next time so worth another chance. Engaged 2.40 Southwell Tuesday.
Has shown ability in bumpers and over hurdles but needs to improve to win this.

Fiveafterfour

Picked up for £80,000 on back of Irish point win; market to guide on rules debut.

Useful French Flat winner; interesting to see how she goes in market on hurdle debut.

Woogrey

200
200/1(-100%)
(11) Woogrey 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, first run since leaving Phillip Makin when eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Engaged 2.40 Southwell Tuesday.
Failed to match bumper form when well beaten on hurdle debut; best watched.
LTO Selection:

12:30 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Wyenot struck by five lengths on her hurdle debut at Ludlow last month and she is likely to have much more to come, but she could find it tough to give her 7lb penalty away to point-to-point winner FIVEAFTERFOUR. The son of Flemensfirth changed hands for 80,000 pounds in the April Cheltenham sales and she is very well-related, so it would be no surprise to see her make an impression on her first outing. Fortune Forever can fight it out for the minor honours.

WYENOT looked a decent prospect when beating a couple of subsequent winners at Ludlow on hurdles bow 5 weeks ago and she can defy a penalty. Fiveafterfour was an easy winner on her sole outing in Irish points so must be respected, with Anamanda another hurdling newcomer to consider having shown fairly useful form on the Flat in France.

The one who makes most appeal is WYENOT, who created a good impression when beating two subsequent winners on her hurdle debut.

Cerendipity

2.75
11/4(+8%)
(2) Cerendipity 11/4, Fairly useful winner over hurdles but very much a chasing type on looks and made an encouraging start in this sphere when third at Sedgefield back from a wind op earlier in the month. Likely to come on for that and worth a chance to open his account.
Hurdle winner; fair start to chase career at Sedgefield and should improve for experience.
1
2nd (1) Ukantango (9/2 +25%)
Ukantango

4.5
9/2(+25%)
(1) Ukantango 9/2, Bumper/dual novice hurdle winner (including here) who improved further when second in Cheltenham Grade 2 a year ago. Disappointing after and inauspicious start to chasing when last at Aintree on return. Something to prove.
Course hurdle winner but always behind on recent chase debut and reappearance.
5
3rd (5) Jipcot (2/1 +43%)
Jipcot

2
2/1(+43%)
(5) Jipcot 2/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some aptitude for chasing, likely to have been third at worst had he not fallen at Ascot 25 days ago. Worth considering.
Travelled well and only just headed when falling over 2m3f latest; big player back at 2m.

Missed Tee

3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(4) Missed Tee 10/3, Easily won sole start in Irish points and dual winner over hurdles. Better than result (went off hard) when fourth in handicap debut at Carlisle on chasing debut last month and should strip fitter for it. Big player.
Point/dual hurdle winner; better than result on chase debut; should improve for top yard.

|F| (3) Chapel Green (17/2 -183%)
Chapel Green

8.5
17/2(-183%)
(3) Chapel Green 17/2, Fair winner over hurdles who made a successful chasing debut at Hexham in October. Disappointed at Aintree next time but too soon to write off.
Winning start to chase career at Hexham but never going when last of five at Aintree since.
LTO Selection:

12:40 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

JIPCOT was in the process of running a big race when falling at the last on his most recent outing at Ascot and the four-year-old merits plenty of respect off a 1lb lower mark here. Cerendipity was well held on his chasing debut at Sedgefield recently but should not be underestimated, while Missed Tee edges out Chapel Green to be the pick of the remainder.

CERENDIPITY made a positive start over fences when third at Sedgefield earlier in the month and, back down in trip, he makes most appeal in an interesting race. Missed Tee fits a similar mould and looks a danger, while Jipcot can't be ruled out.

The suggestion is JIPCOT, who had only just been headed when falling at the last over 2m3f last time and can come good back at shorter.

Great Ocean

4
4/1(+11%)
(1) Great Ocean 4/1, Sole Rules success came over hurdles in January 2022 for Philip Hobbs. Not the most consistent for his current yard, though did shape as if better for the run after 6 months off at Wincanton 31 days ago. One to note.
Has patchy record and is 0-10 since his Wincanton maiden win; others are more convincing.

Out of sorts in last two Flat runs and has uninspiring record over hurdles; opposable.
6

(6) Force De Frap 7/1, Scored at Taunton and Wincanton last season and wasn't disgraced after 6 months off when fourth of 17 at Warwick (2m) 22 days ago. Is unproven beyond 17f, however.
Dual hurdle winner who shaped with promise at Warwick on his recent return; not ruled out.
11
5th (11) She Has Notions (12/1 -50%)
She Has Notions

12
12/1(-50%)
(11) She Has Notions 12/1, Showed some ability remains when fifth in a 12-runner Plumpton handicap (20.5f, good) in September and perhaps unsuited by heavy ground when pulled up at Stratford since. Cheekpieces back on. 3 lb out of the weights. Engaged 3.10 Southwell Tuesday.
Inconsistent maiden who was pulled up four weeks ago.
3
6th (3) Iron D'ex (18/1 -200%)
Iron D'ex

18
18/1(-200%)
(3) Iron D'ex 18/1, £60,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point in spring of last year. Matched the pick of last season's efforts when second on return at Bangor but isn't much on looks and ran badly at Aintree since. Bounce back required.
Handicap newcomer but he has a mixed record so far and needs more progress.
2
7th (2) Passionate Pursuit (13/2 +54%)
Passionate Pursuit

6.5
13/2(+54%)
(2) Passionate Pursuit 13/2, Fourth in Chepstow bumper on Rules debut and stepped up on that when just touched off in a Wincanton maiden on hurdles bow last November. Below par on final start of last season but shaped as if better for the run on last month's return at Ludlow. Up in trip and fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
Unexposed mare but she needs to get back on track at this new trip; cheekpieces added.

Has struggled in both his handicaps and needs to turn things around back up in trip.

Well held in all completed starts and she's 19lb out of the weights on this handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

12:50 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The verdict is for MAN OF THE SEA, who only found one too good at Market Rasen last time and can race off the same mark here. Others to note are Force De Frap and Iron D'ex and the former is feared most on the basis that he's entitled to have come forward for his Warwick comeback and would have a massive chance if reproducing the sort of form which saw him place at Ludlow and Bangor in April.

MAN OF THE SEA was fit from the Flat and ran a solid race when runner-up on his latest start over hurdles at Market Rasen in September and a repeat should see him go well again operating from the same mark. It remains early days with Passionate Pursuit and she's another to consider up in trip/equipped with first-time cheekpieces. The class-dropping Great Ocean also commands a second look.

Triple hurdle winner MAN OF THE SEA (nap) is ideally suited by good or quicker ground and was a creditable second when last in action.

Triple point winner who won on chase debut last time; up in weights/grade but claims.

3rd (5) Swallows Song (11/4 +50%)
Swallows Song

2.75
11/4(+50%)
(5) Swallows Song 11/4, Bumper winner/fair maiden over hurdles. Shaped as if better for the run on C&D chase debut in October and best not judged harshly on his subsequent Carlisle run in novice company (out of depth). This rates more suitable and he may yet have more to offer.
Won sole bumper start and ran well over hurdles but not at best so far over fences.

Prince Des Fichaux

(3) Prince Des Fichaux 14/1, Took well to fences last term, landing 10-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (25.3f, good to soft) in April (final start for Sam Thomas). Shaped much better than distance beaten suggests on return/yard debut over C&D 18 days ago and likely he'll see things out better this time.

Missed 2022 but has shown he retains much of his ability; return to this trip should suit.
LTO Selection:

13:00 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

YOUNG BUSTER was last seen making his first chase start a victorious one at Warwick when accounting for his nearest rival by just over two lengths and defying a mark of 113. The seven-year-old has been raised 5lb for that display and, with normal progression, he could prove hard to beat on his return. Busty Boy is also one from one over fences after winning in decisive fashion at Kelso last month and he could have a say off a 5lb higher mark, while Overcourt can win the battle for third.

A winner of 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points, BUSTY BOY surpassed his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in good style over C&D 32 days ago, impressing with how he travelled/jumped. He can defy a 5 lb higher mark with the prospect of more to come in this sphere. Young Buster has been absent since scoring himself on chase debut back in May but rates a lead threat. The consistent Overcourt is another in the mix, in a competitive affair.

This can go to YOUNG BUSTER, who created a good impression when winning on chase debut in May. He goes well fresh and can do better.

LTO Selection:

13:15 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

I'm Too Tired has made the frame in all three of his previous starts over hurdles and is likely to go well once again. That said, preference is for KOUROSH, who showed ability when trained on the Flat in Germany and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning start for these connections. Star Turn only found one too good at Ludlow a few weeks ago and completes the shortlist.

KOUROSH won on the Flat in Germany and is from the family of a winning hurdler, so he might well be able to make a successful start in this sphere. Star Turn is the obvious danger and I'm Too Tired can't be ruled out for all that he's a bit more exposed.

Alan King's STAR TURN showed promise when second on his Warwick hurdle debut and is taken to improve past I'm Too Tired.

(11) Cobbs Corner 7/2, Handicap hurdle winner last autumn. Fourth of 10 on his C&D chase debut/reappearance 23 days ago and entitled to come on for the outing. High on the shortlist.
Made a quite promising seasonal/chase debut when fourth over C&D this month.
LTO Selection:

13:25 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LOUDSPEAKER got off the mark in a similar event at Doncaster a couple of weeks ago and 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going in again here. Cobbs Corner was not disgraced on his return to action over C&D earlier in the month and he is entitled to improve for that outing, while Phoenix Aquilus also makes the shortlist.

COBBS CORNER gets the nod to build on his C&D chase debut fourth earlier in the month and add to last season's Fakenham handicap hurdle success. Recent Doncaster winner Loudspeaker rates an obvious danger, while King Otis has won over hurdles since joining James Owen and is also respected on his first chase start for the trainer.

Preference is for COBBS CORNER, who ran well for a long way when fourth over C&D on his recent seasonal/chase debut.

3m1f chase winner; overall form patchy and no appeal for new yard following an absence.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

There won't be many easier winners than SECRET SECRET was over C&D earlier in the month, as he struck with his head in his chest by 14 lengths. The seven-year-old would have been hard to assess by the handicapper after that victory and an 11lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Bouncing Bobby looks the main threat after putting in a much better display to finish second over 2m last time and should go well off 2lb higher. Of the remainder, Eden Mill makes the most appeal.

SECRET SECRET has been turned around by his current stable and, having had plenty to spare over C&D recently, he's a confident choice to score again. Eden Mill and Bouncing Bobby are both obvious dangers.

This could go the way of BOUNCING BOBBY, who ran well behind a subsequent winner last time. The return to this trip should suit.

Claimed for €13,001 in April and offered something to work on making his yard debut/reappearance when sixth of 13 in handicap chase (33/1) at this course (19.4f, soft) 25 days ago, barely adequate test.

Bumper winner but hurdle career underwhelming, including for new yard recently; chase bow.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

JET LEGS ended his last campaign with back-to-back victories over hurdles in March and his chasing debut at Carlisle last month suggested that the six-year-old would remain competitive off his current mark. Snipe was a beaten favourite on his most recent outing but has strong form claims based on his previous success at Southwell, while No But I Will should not be discounted of his chasing bow.

JET LEGS was progressive over hurdles and made a promising start over fences when fourth at Carlisle on return, so gets the vote with improvement likely back up in trip. Snipe has taken well to chasing this season and is the obvious threat back down in class.

There was a lot to like about the way JET LEGS performed on his 2m4f Carlisle chase debut last month and he can strike back over 3m.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CASA NO MENTO was sent off at prohibitive odds for her hurdling debut at Market Rasen and duly obliged by six lengths. The daughter of Casamento brings the best form to the table and she could prove difficult to stop in her follow-up bid. Jupiter And Mars was a fair performer on the Flat for Ralph Beckett and he is an interesting contender on his first start for the Tom Lacey yard in this sphere, while Get The Value is another to note on his first outing over hurdles.

CASA NO MENTO showed plenty in bumpers and made an impressive start over hurdles when scoring at Market Rasen a couple of months ago. She's the clear form pick and has more to offer, so she's preferred to Jupiter And Mars, who looks the pick of the hurdling debutants. Muskoka is also considered.

Although she's taking on males for the first time under rules, CASA NO MENTO holds strong claims. Muskoka is feared most.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

JEM IN EM got the better of Haveyougotmymoney (second) when scoring over C&D last month and despite being worse off at the weights on this occasion, Lucinda Russell's charge is taken to uphold that form on dryer ground. The latter has gone close again since at Musselburgh, while Had To Be Hugo should appreciate a return to the smaller obstacles, having not shown much on his chase debut here recently.

JEM IN EM boasts a progressive profile over hurdles and responded well to get the better of Haveyougotmymoney over C&D last time, so he's likely to follow up at the likely expense of the same rival. Had To Be Hugo warrants a mention, too.

The one who appeals most is HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY, who extended his run of creditable efforts behind a progressive sort last time.

Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham; should be up to making presence felt in novice hurdles.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The one to side with is THE VILLAGE WAY, who is a well-related son of Spanish Moon and goes for the Dan Skelton yard on his Rules debut after finishing second on both point-to-point starts. Any market confidence behind him would add further interest, while Notimeforanother was a solid performer on the Flat and is another to consider. Toonagh Warrior wasn't beaten far when second at Warwick and also comes into calculations.

THE VILLAGE WAY could be the way to go starting out over hurdles at a track where his yard have a tremendous record. Toonagh Warrior made a bright start for his new stable when second at Warwick and is the obvious danger.

Toonagh Warrior is respected but market confidence behind Dan Skelton's Irish point recruit THE VILLAGE WAY should be noted.

Well beaten after racing too freely here three weeks ago and is not the percentage call.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Flight Of Freedom has shown more than enough ability in both of her hurdle starts, including when runner-up over 2m here last month, to suggest she could prove competitive off a mark of 110. However, preference is for GRIVETANA, who returned from a 203-day break to finish a well-held sixth in a class 3 event at Newbury, but this represents a drop in grade and she is able to compete off a 2lb lower rating. Irish raider Redwood Queen warrants a market check.

REDWOOD QUEEN is a very eye-catching runner for the Charles Byrnes yard and makes plenty of appeal having backed up her Sligo success with a solid third in a big-field at Punchestown. Grivetana looks very leniently-weighted if able to step forward from her recent return, with Emma Lavelle's handicap newcomer Flight of Freedom also a leading player.

Preference is for REDWOOD QUEEN, who backed up her Sligo win with a good effort in a big field at Punchestown last month.

Multiple chase winner but yet to score over hurdles; 13lb higher than last hurdle run.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CALL ME HARRY deservedly regained the winning thread in a 3m conditional jockeys' race at Musselburgh and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him as he looks to overcome a 4lb rise, which is largely negated by Patrick Wadge being allowed to use his 3lb claim this time. Hidden Commander may be winless in 10 starts over hurdles but he won here over fences in September and warrants respect, while Enemy At The Gate is another who has the potential to improve for going up in distance.

CALL ME HARRY confirmed previous promise over hurdles when getting the better of one operating at the top if their game at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago and he could just be worth siding with to come out on top again now he's found his feet. Enemy At The Gate and Beat The Retreat, who rates a likely improver on handicap debut, head up the dangers.

The progressive one is CALL ME HARRY, who won with a bit in hand at Musselburgh and he's taken to follow up from 4lb higher.

However, not scaled same heights either outing since, left behind gradually when fourth in 6-runner Haydock handicap (16.3f) latest. Bit to prove on comeback.
Disappointing in his final two runs in the spring and has something to prove on his return.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Hystery Bere filled the runner-up berth over an extended 2m3f at Stratford last month and he has to be respected off a 1lb lower rating. However, the vote goes to NETYWELL, who was beaten into third at Aintree in this grade last time and was dropped 1lb for that effort. The six-year-old has Stephen Malqueen back on board and can return to winning ways. Tokay Dokey returns from a long absence and is well worth a market check.

HYSTERY BERE is unexposed over fences and is worth another chance to build on his chase debut win. The consistent Netywell is feared most.

Preference is for the unexposed chaser HYSTERY BERE (nap), who ran into a handicap blot when runner-up at Stratford four weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A comfortable winner on his return at Fontwell last month, HIPOP DES ONGRAIS must hold every chance of following up, with the form of that contest being franked by the second scoring twice since. A 7lb rise looks manageable and he may have too much for My Bad Lucy, who has a 216-day absence to overcome but arrives having won two of his last three. Langley Hundred showed up well on his chasing bow at Ludlow and there should be more improvement to come from the six-year-old.

HIPOP DES ONGRAIS is starting to fill his tall frame now and looks set for a good season after his commanding win at Fontwell on his return 6 weeks ago. Langley Hundred made a promising start over fences when second at Ludlow on his comeback and is feared with improvement likely, while there's potential for Paseo to be on a going day returning with his stable in terrific form.

Ludlow runner-up LANGLEY HUNDRED is open to progress over fences and taken to go one better. Pilot Show is second choice.

15:20 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Runner-up on both starts this season over shorter, including here, WITHOUT CONVICTION should relish gong back up in trip, having won over three miles at Ayr in March. The extra two furlongs shouldn't be an issue and she gets the vote ahead of her stablemate Camp Belan, who won this contest off a 3lb higher mark last year. Bretney and Sputnik have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

Lucinda Russell holds a strong hand with CAMP BELAN and Without Conviction, with last year's winner shading the vote. Bretney and Sputnik are also likely players.

Lucinda Russell has a strong hand and her CAMP BELAN (nap) is taken to win this race for the second year in succession.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MARY SHOELACES could reap the benefit of first-time blinkers. This daughter of U S Navy Flag showed promise in third on nursery debut over C&D last month. That form has been endorsed by the horses that sandwiched her in second and fourth. Scorchio is a big danger. Wesley Joyce partnered her when the duo were successful over C&D in October and Jack Davison's colt showed that she can be competitive off her new mark when a close third over 6f at this track earlier in the month. Progeny of Cotai Glory have a good record on all-weather surfaces, so Charles Atlas could show up well on Polytrack debut.

SCORCHIO has taken really well to this surface in recent weeks and looks good for another win. Mary Shoelaces ran well behind the selection over C&D on her latest start and is second choice ahead of Andrew Slattery handicap newcomer Tarsus.

MARY SHOELACES might be able to turn the tables on Scorchio from their C&D clash last month on 10lb better terms.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Wetherby NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Giver The Hollie finished a fair fifth at Warwick on her debut under Rules earlier in the month and, with that experience under her belt, she ought to have a say in this contest. However, the one to be with may be MOONLIT POTTER, who is a well-bred daughter of Pether's Moon and is related to plenty of winners, so it would be no surprise to see her making a winning debut under Daryl Jacob. Any market support behind Seas The Day would also be of interest.

AUDACIOUS ANNIE represents a yard with a good record in bumpers and is related to several talented sorts, not least Cheltenham Festival winner You Wear It Well, so she's fancied to make a successful start. Giver The Hollie showed ability whilst shaping like a stayer on debut and could be in the mix again with all but one of her opposition newcomers, with her stablemate Seas The Day having to be respected on account of her yard's fine record in this sphere.

Fergal O'Brien has two interesting contenders, but slight preference is for Jamie Snowden's well-bred newcomer AUDACIOUS ANNIE.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Hereford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The Paul Nicholls stable has an excellent record around here and this looks an ideal opportunity for costly newcomer JACKPOT DES BORDES to get his career off to a perfect start. The four-year-old is related to a couple of winners and he is preferred to fellow debutant French Symphony, who is a half-brother to Imperial Cup winner Surprise Package. Doeshefitthebill is another to note for market support as he goes for in-form connections.

The market will no doubt prove informative but JACKPOT DES BORDES is selected to make a winning start for a yard going great guns at present. Doeshefitthebill also has plenty to recommend him on paper, so Jonjo O'Neill's charge is put forward as the main danger, with French Symphony and Timeforarum taken to fight out third.

Paul Nicholls' six-figure purchase JACKPOT DES BORDES gets the nod.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

CIAO FOR NOW is one to take seriously on Polytrack debut. There was a lot to like about her second at Leopardstown during the summer and then she was beaten less than a length into fifth on slower ground in a sprint maiden the following month. Being by Havana Grey, she ought to take to this all-weather surface. Cuban Confusion has two solid placed efforts in October at Dundalk to call upon and should be right in contention. Joseph O'Brien's Sioux Nation newcomer Indian Alliance must be a given a check for market strength while Rebelsontherun is a potential improver on his first visit to Dundalk.

Having shown plenty to work on when second on debut at Leopardstown in August, CIAO FOR NOW ran to a similar level despite seemingly finding the drop in trip against her at Navan a month later. The type to do better stepping back up in trip, she gets the nod back from a break. Cuban Confusion and Gesture head up the dangers, whilst Indian Alliance is a newcomer to note.

Cuban Confusion sets the standard but might struggle to give 7lb to MISS ALASKA, who was fourth over 6f here last time.

LTO Selection:

16:25 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

A very tight handicap with just 8lb between the top and bottom weights. SUPER OVER has been coming down the weights and put in a good effort in third off a mark of 74 in a slightly better class of race over 1m at this track at the start of the month. He has winning form over C&D. Not Just Yet's sole victory came over 7f at Listowel in June and he stayed on for second over 1m at this track earlier this month, so looks a major contender for Noel Meade and Colin Keane. Little Keilee is in a consistent vein of form and just failed by a short head over C&D a fortnight ago. She will have plenty of supporters as will Gobi Star who travelled strongly before winning in the basement grade last week. The handicapper didn't miss that performance, though, as 12lb has been dished out. Half Nutz, Secret Magician and Exquisite Acclaim are far from out of contention.

GOBI STAR had stacks in hand when scoring over C&D last week and, despite a hefty rise back up the weights, Patrick Martin's 5-y-o is fancied to go in again at the expense of Super Over, who has a fine record at this venue and is another who arrives in form. Not Just Yet is reunited with Colin Keane and he can battle out minor honours with Little Keilee.

NOT JUST YET ran a belter from stall 17 over 1m last time and is better drawn today off the same mark.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Dundalk Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

APACHE OUTLAW showed an aptitude for Polytrack on his first visit to Dundalk at the start of the month. The Churchill gelding kept on in second behind an all-the-way winner and had several of these rivals in behind. He remains on the same mark and should make a bold bid. The handicapper is easing his grip on Hodd's Girl and she is eminently capable of travelling into contention over this trip. Big Gossey has a rating that merits plenty of respect. He hasn't been a frequent visitor to Dundalk in recent years, but it isn't hard to see him enjoying this surface again. Mickey The Steel was well placed to win sprint handicaps at Bellewstown in September and the Curragh this month. He has a C&D victory in the locker and is respected while Dandyville is a very solid operator who knows where the winning post is.

APACHE OUTLAW got firmly back on track when second over C&D earlier in the month and he's potentially well treated, so he's narrowly preferred to MIckey The Steel, who scored at the Curragh in determined style last time. Dandyville also makes the shortlist.

Compared to his career-high mark of 100 as a 2yo, APACHE OUTLAW is still off a reasonable mark and could get back on the scoresheet.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Dundalk Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

ORANMORE has winning form over an extended 1m6f on the turf at Bellewstown and should get 2m on the Polytrack. Scott McCullagh's 3lb claim has him on a feasible mark. Dreams Fled Away kept on for third, in first-time blinkers, over 1m4f at this track and now tackles this trip for the first time. He has a decent chance under Niall McCullagh. Ciao Adios attracted plenty of support on her first run for Shauna Larkin before finishing fourth over 1m4f at this venue. It will be interesting to see if further support arrives over this trip. Landue is one tumbling down the weights that could appreciate this staying assignment.

DREAMS FLED AWAY finished to good effect when third at this course 12 days ago and the longer trip should suit, so he boasts strong claims provided the blinkers work again. Most of his rivals have something to prove but a case can be made for both Oranmore and Mosaaheb.

Blinkers elicited improvement from DREAMS FLED AWAY here last time. He can make the breakthrough if he sees out this longer trip

LTO Selection:

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

ELZAAMSAN kept on for third in a much higher grade over C&D in March which bodes well for another crack at 2m. He returned from a break of almost two months with a close fourth over 1m4f here this month and should come on from that outing. Molly Hall steps onto Polytrack for the first time, but certainly has no stamina issues having delivered over an extended 2m at Tramore in September. That run was on good ground, so she could put her best foot forward on this surface. Riyami made good headway to get up for second in the closing stages of a 1m4f handicap at this track last Friday, so there is sound reasoning behind the step up in trip. Swelltime competes off a very lowly mark and a better performance wouldn't be surprising.

RIYAMI has made a decent start for this yard switched to the AW and could be worth chancing up in trip. Curious Bride and Elzaamsan are feared most.

A strong-finishing second over 1m4f here last Friday RIYAMI may be able to go one better in this test of stamina

LTO Selection:

18:30 Dundalk Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

The 99-rated TIME TO TELL was runner-up in two maidens before finishing third in Listed class at the Curragh which sets a high standard. She is related to a couple of multiple winners and her proven ability over 1m4f is a major strength in this race. She could appreciate this surface after racing on testing ground to date. Saturn is regally bred and can have a say up in trip after a trio of placed efforts over shorter distances. Gran Caballo, a son of American Pharoah, is nicely related and merits a market check on debut for Joseph O'Brien. Banana Three is up in trip after posting two runner-up berths here while War Correspondent, Nakassama and Apercu all have claims.

Having finished runner-up in her first 2 starts in maidens, TIME TO TELL took another step forward when third in listed company at the Curragh 24 days ago and she ought to prove tough to beat on that evidence back in calmer waters. The very well-bred Saturn may yet have more to offer up in trip and, along with newcomer Gran Caballo and Banana Three, heads up the dangers.

This should be a virtual formality for TIME TO TELL, best of her age group when third in a Listed race over this trip at the Curragh

LTO Selection:

19:00 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

SKY LEGEND has been runner-up on his last two starts over C&D and can get his turn. He wasn't beaten far in either contest and remains on a competitive mark. Sean Bowen couldn't use his claim in an apprentice race the last day, but now claims 5lb which is a bonus. Bright N Shine is the one horse arriving on the back of a victory. He took the honours by half a length over an extended 10 furlongs at this track earlier in the month and has placed form over this trip on turf, so has a more than reasonable chance. Caulaincourt could go better over this new trip in first-time blinkers while Hearts Are Trumps has been a money-spinner over hurdles and makes some appeal off a mark of 66 on his return to the Flat in first-time cheekpieces.

ZILEO didn't fare too badly back on AW last time and might be able to snap a losing run with Billy Lee back in the saddle. Sky Legend has been knocking on the door over C&D lately and is second choice. Last-time-out course scorer Bright N Shine and Hearts Are Trumps, who ran well over hurdles last time, are also on the shortlist.

Placed in six of his 11 AW races, SKY LEGEND(nap) has a good chance of opening his account after a pair of seconds at this venue

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.
